Maybe I’m just face-blind or being dense but the photos from the scene of the crime look like a different dude than the ginning hostel check in guy. The jackets and backpacks are different. Although people can have multiple jackets and backpacks. We don’t see much of the shooters face but the eyebrows look different. Although, people can pluck/shave eyebrows. I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?

    i used to lived next to an organized crime person.

    they would fuck with me constantly because i have a problem of keeping my mouth shut because i do.

    and when they left on vacation they would use their underlings to fuck with my life. some horrible shit would happen to me. and then a few days later they would return smiling and smirking asking how i was doing.

    the following is my opinion: trump hired that killer (probably someone with a beef against insurance) through some underling with the promise of a big payoff, left the country to France, and the killer was supposed to be paid off after the kill but was left with monopoly money because trump never pays his debts. And now the killer is dead and in the Hudson never to be found in one piece.

    now trump will use the killing to push a hardcore agenda of police and constant surveillance to make sure it won’t happen again.

    and the rich will pay him to make sure that it doesn’t.

    but it will happen again. and trump will leave the country right before it does.

    I hope it’s not the whole gold/blue dress thing all over again.

    However, I read in another post one might just be someone they want to question to get to the master assassin.

      I saw a comment on another site where someone said the NYPD confirmed that the “ person of interest” is not the suspected shooter, but no one could produce a link confirming that assertion. The news anchors are all phrasing it like he’s the suspected shooter, which is fucked. Some ding dong in the PD’s gonna shoot a dude that they need for questioning (if they manage to find him when the whole city saw nothing)

    Backpack & jacket type AND color are all different. The other dude even has his hood from a hoodie beneath the jacket while the first one has his hood from his jacket. Facially also completely different. I guess the NYPD has reached Reddit doxxing levels now.

      The killer seems pretty competent, having multiple jackets and backpacks and switching things up to make it harder to track him doesn’t seem unreasonable.

        I thought you were joking (missing /s) but judging by the comments you mean it?

        I don’t think this sounds plausible, no. You’d try to make yourself look completely every time if that were the case.

        Having two dudes wearing similar stuff also doesn’t sound unreasonable. It’s really inconclusive and could do a shit ton of harm to an innocent person if the police got this wrong.

      Maybe they have always been at Reddit doxxing levels?

    The nose I can go either way on. It looks “different” to me but wearing a mask and not grinning makes a huge difference there (it is why you are told to not smile for ID photos). The eyebrows are more a function of angle and resolution as you can see some darkness on the left (and he is obviously scowling and not flirting with a cute desk girl).

    As for the jacket and backpack? Too lazy to look up the backpack models (people figured it out) but the one on the left looks small enough to fit in the one on the right. So he has his backpack for travel and then a smaller one full of gun and snacks and whatever else for the stakeout.

    I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?

    Never talk to the cops without a lawyer and NEVER voluntarily talk to them.

    Also? The cops are going to find SOMEONE in the next week or so. And you can be damned sure they are going to take advantage of all of the news and social media about how this is a skilled hitman fighting for the loss of a loved one who WILL NOT BE TAKEN ALIVE. They’ll corner whoever they can pin it on, shoot them a few times, and then plant a gun and call it a day.

      Agreed. I think he could’ve changed clothes to throw the investigators in for a loop

    They will find someone that roughly fits the description and he won’t make it to jail alive… Case closed nothing to see here… Or something entirely different may happen…

      “Mr Westin, do these two men look similiar to you?”

      “No…”

      “But I haven’t even shown the second picture yet.”

      “Ok, show me…but I’ll still say no.”

    These all look like different people with photos from different places at different times of the day. Probably their AI matched them and the coppers just had a quick glance, then put them on this panel.

    Honestly, I doubt the person who shot him would actually be mad at being caught. He might’ve started a movement.

      I really dislike the hero worship going on. For all we know, that particular dude might be a paid hitman.

      He’s not getting caught. The whole thing was obviously planned well. Never mind the professional technique and all that gun stuff, no, just consider the fact that he knew where and when to do it. How the hell did he track down the whereabouts of some relatively unknown CEO on a public street? That shows that the attack was carefully planned and of course any good plan includes an escape.

    The clothing color could be due to lighting. Remember the blue black dress meme? Multiple backpacks is too easy. So that’s a non-issue.

    That being said. Why isn’t anyone considering that maybe the cops couldn’t give a shit either. But they have to try because the money people said so.

        It’s more than incompetent. It’s that they can’t get caught. That there is a way to execute and not be held accountable. If that knowledge hits the masses it’s a public relations nightmare.

    Looks like a generic male, although the ladies say he is good looking.

    Looks like nobody saw nothing in NYC tho lol
